BELLS THAT TOLLED ACROSS THE WORLD. IT seems extraordinary that when the Pennsylvania Assembly voted to commission the Liberty Bell, back in 1751, that they sent halfway round the world - to Whitechapel - to get the instrument cast. But a look at the history of this extraordinary company shows why they went so far. Transporting the bell the few miles from the foundry to the Houses of Parliament was a major event.

Tower Hamlets has always been a trading Market Borough, it has some of the finest street markets in the World but in recent years markets have been battered by traffic regulations whose impact has begun to destroy the historic character of this great inner city Borough.
